The Gist: Brother-Sister-Love....yup, that's right. Father dumps the family for a new one; mother looks to escape reality, partying and spending what little money she has to regain her youth. Five children trying to survive, pretending that all is fine at home so that social services won't split them up. The oldest has anxiety issues while he and his sister have basically been the parents for the last five years. Did I mention that the middle child is hanging out with thugs and blaming his siblings for all his troubles?!?
They know it is wrong. They fight the urge to be together. They make a plan...but plans rarely work out the way you hope.
Opinion, if you please: I give it a complicated 4 out of 5 stars.
Wow! The ultimate taboo...it is so wrong yet their situation is so infuriatingly impossible, you can understand how it came to this...well, sort of. This book will challenge you in unexpected ways. Heartbreaking....subject well written (although a bit drawn out in the middle)...must read!
Warning: there is sexual content but not overly done.
